(They were lucky.Many people waited for days or weeks before they were allowed to leave the island.) Finally, they were off to their new home in Queens, New York, where my grandmother still lives.Today, Ellis Island is a national monument.The building where my grandmother once stood in line is a museum.Its visited by about 3 million people each year, many of whom come to trace (追踪) their familys roots.To immigrants like my grandmother, the island remains a symbol of the American dream.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。作者回忆了奶奶早年追随她的父亲移民美国的故事。今天，当年奶奶乘坐的轮船靠岸的爱利斯岛已经成为一座丰碑。1.How did the authors grandmother feel during the journey to New York?ALonely.BFrightened.CHopeful.

Apicella chose them for her experiment because they had not been exposed to Western culture and standards of beauty. She showed people from both groups two images (图像) and asked which was more attractive.One image was an average of five British faces or five Hadza faces.The other was an average of 20 British faces or 20 Hadza faces.People of both cultures preferred the latter face. The British participants found both Hadza and British faces beautiful.The Hadza, oppositely, preferred only Hadza faces.“The Hadza have little experience with European faces and probably do not know what an average European face looks like，” Apicella concludes.“If they dont know what it looks like, how can they prefer it？” Her findings show how biology and the environment work together to shape our values.“The preference for average itself is biologically based，” Apicella says.But people must first experience other faces to learn what an average face should look like. Kaitlin Ryan and Isabel Gauthier at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., carried out a newer study.The pair asked 297 young adults to view pictures of men, women, Barbie dolls and Transformer (toy) faces.Women are usually better at recognizing faces than men.But men who had played with Transformer toys as kids were better than women at recognizing Transformer faces.That childhood exposure to Transformers stuck with the men, improving their performance.语篇解读：本文是说明文。心理学中有一种认识：越熟悉的东西越有吸引力。研究发现，这也是人们认为接近平均值的脸更有吸引力的原因。8.What can we learn from Coren Apicellas study?APeople prefer average faces.BThe British are better at recognizing faces.CThe Hadza dont have a good sense of beauty.DPeople consider familiar things less attractive.解析：选A细节理解题。由第一段“Perhaps thats why people find average faces more attractive. Indeed, her research backs this up.”及下文对实验情况的介绍可知，Coren Apicella的实验结果表明人们喜欢接近平均值的脸。9Why did the Hadza love only Hadza faces?AThey didnt agree with Western standards of beauty.BEuropean faces arent as attractive as Hadza ones.CThe European faces arent average ones.DThey didnt know European faces well.解析：选D推理判断题。由第三段Apicella所说的话可知，the Hadza不熟悉欧洲人的脸，所以不知道接近平均值的欧洲人长得怎样，故而谈不上喜欢不喜欢。10What leads to our preference for average?AOur culture.BOur living environment.COur nature.DOur childhood experiences.解析：选C细节理解题。由第四段“The preference for average itself is biologically based”可知，我们的这个偏好是由我们的本性决定的。11What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?AWhy exposure to faces is important?BMen prefer toy faces to human ones.CHow to find familiar things around us?DWomen are more sensitive to faces than men.解析：选A段落大意题。由第四段“But people must first experience other faces to learn what an average face should look like.”及最后一段的最后两句可知，本段主要通过实验证明了接触各种各样的脸是很重要的。.阅读七选五The quick action of Nick helped five people escape from a fire on Hope Road.Nick said he usually left his house at about 5：30 am.at lift weights, but that day he decided to stay at home to get his daughter ready for school._1_ “I saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the side of the house, shouting, Your house is on fire！”Beverly Penny and her husband Clark, along with their younger daughters, were sleeping in the bedroom, next to the kitchen, when they heard Nick beating on the walls.She opened the bedroom door and black smoke rolled in._2_ Her dog tried to hide under the bed, but Penny caught it by the leg and threw it out of the door._3_ “When we arrived with our fire trucks, there were heavy flames outside the house，” Jerry said
